The attached picture shows the oyo king in his palace

@Davidnazee and @prolog2

I told you it was alaafin that the british representative asked about when he told oba of benin "I hear of a very powerful king in the hinterland, whose face cannot be seen"

Alaafin>>>>oba of benin
How come people debate the Alaafin's supremacy over all the kings in West Africa at one point? Don't they realize that African kings had traditional ruler's councils even in those days? And that the Alaafin of Oyo was always the head of the council? Ancient Afrika was not disorganized, this wasn't to the expense of the Oba of Benin, there was simply an unity that ancestral kings had which deteriorated to the state of slavery and colonialism. Even the Emir of Kano was and is an ally king to the Alaafin. The Alaafin wore the mask, his name is, Ayi Awo Kabeyasi Sango, which means don't stare into the face of King Sango. The Alaafin, god on Earth, second in command to the Gods.

Another Yoruba feel good tale again oo..
which ancient traditional council are u talking about?
Where was the alaffin when Nupe invaders chased away Oyo monarchy and ruled for 100yrs? Where was alaffin when Dahomey women was beating Oyo anyhow? Where was alaffin when Benin Kingdom was busy conquering and claiming all of Eastern Yoruba?
Please stop this rubbish story.

Well the Alaffin’s power was restricted to within his Yoruba subjects and besides that, the Alaffin is an Edo descendant so I won’t trash his authority..

Moneywoman So na you be the Yoruba champion now abi? Lol.
This picture u post, the writer said he was told most of the things he wrote there (lies told by Yoruba as usual)..
the only thing he saw and witnessed was the Fulanis conquering and ruling Yoruba Ilorin with the Yoruba cowards fleeing.. So you see yourself na, you bring evidence that only embarrasses the Yoruba race the more.
Abeg tell whoever hire you make dem fire you quickly unless na more disgrace you will bring on Yoruba.
chai see painment and that was no writer that was the governor of the colony of Lagos sir Alfred. know the truth hurts u davidnaze but ur colonial master British does not recognize anybody called edo or Benin in Lagos. Nothing to be embarrassed about in ilorin the history of the place is clear afonja betray alafin and got stabbed in the back by the Fulani warrior end of story. But according to the British governor oyo ruled over Benin and Dahomey. The British governor says this not me or some lowlife called davidnaze can erase it all u can do is cry.

Here you go again with this Ooni story. This is came about in modern times because Ife is Christian and Oyo is Muslim.

Ife is a holy city and Oyo is an Empire.

We need an empire in these end times to protect our people. Building empires has nothing to do with anything sentimental.

The British governor wrote what he said he heard from the Yorubas but he only saw the defeat and domination of the Yorubas by the Fulanis..
and to show how much of a mugu you are, this letter was written in the late 1800, by that time Oyo was dead and buried so any account of Oyo he wrote there was the fairy tale lies Yorubas are always spreading..

Sango is Oyo not Ife. grin Sango's family is the Adyemi family that live in Oyo and Ibadan. There's another royal house of Oyo, I can't think of their name at the moment. Yet from what I understand they take turns running Oyo as dictated by the Oyo Mesi.

There are two royal families in Oyo, rather two royal houses yet both have the blood of Sango in them. The Alaafin always has several wives to increase the amount of royal children.

No No No No.........You are wrong dear. Ooni was the King in the hinterland whose face was not seen but covered with crown's bead or a form veil. Ooni waz seen as God-man King. In fact, he was the only King all Yoruba kings respect overwhelmingly. This is not because of kingdom strength but the seat of Oduduwa,whose throne is occupied by Oranmiyan descendants. Historically, Ooni was the only king that all kings left their seat to acknowledged him ,when he clarify, a town under Ijebu in Ikorodu that tried to claim that her kings wears beaded crown which Ooni declared as false.

chai e pain am. Stop crying he came late 1800 but he saw defeat how mr cryer huh. Yoruba land is 25000 to 30000 of which the colony of Lagos is 1069. I will post it again so that u can keep crying. Sir Alfred read about oyo ruling over Dahomey and Benin. But all he knows about bini was that it was a village where the king has been banished. Read the letter well and digest it.

Am I wrong about the Alaafin being an emperor and Oyo being an Empire? grin

No, no, no, I'm not wrong.

Who signed the protectorate with the British as the King of all Yorubas? The Ooni or the Alaafin?


Yoruba means subject of the Oba of Oyo, that's how the British saw them.

Dude you are fool who had no accurate knowledge of YORUBA HISTORY.

moreover, what you doing with the "KingSango" title?

where you got it from?

we gonna definitely track you down, and the current Alain whatever, fucking uneducated bleaching retards.

those aint anything close to royalty, rather usurpers.

and for you, Bleep you, or I call SANGO HIMSELF UPON YOU wherever you are.
Sango is my guardian Angel, a god, to whom I owe my life up to this point. You can't tell me what I can and can not do in honor of my Heru.

Sango is over the Yoruba Empire of Oyo. There is no Ile Ife empire, it was only meant as holy city. Oyo paid to price of being an empire as it was attacked several times, once burnt to the ground. Think of that would have been Ile Ife? Yoruba history might have died that day. King Oranymiyan knew what he was doing by putting the political city away from the spiritual centre. Oyo is the political capital.
